A curious blend of innovation

The kitchen blender has a lot to answer for.  These days there are plenty of experiments with what you can cram into the jug and then blur into a fine emulsion – not all of them entirely edible.  It’s the ideal lockdown toy, but whilst it might permit all sorts of interesting smoothies it would be a slightly odd mind which decided to try and make one up out of egg white and titanium dioxide.    Doesn’t sound like it would delight the taste buds – but then again it might have other uses, not least as a source of innovation.....This podcast looks at the surprising history of Liquid Paper and the way its inventor, Betty Nesmith Graham,  turned her frustration at work into a successful global business.You can find a transcript hereIf you'd like to explore more innovation stories, or access a wide range of resources to help work with innovation, then please visit my website here.You can find a rich variety of cases, tools, videos, activities and other resources - as well as my innovation blog.Or subscribe to my YouTube channel here
